Music On Main celebrates a decade of bringing fine music to the Valley. From Vivaldi to Brahms, from Shostakovitch to Michael McGlynn, from chant to Dixieland, this season will be really diverse. During this 10th anniversary year, we’ll hear two pianos, organ, two choral groups, a dixieland group, strings, Irish harp, Highland pipes, concertina and a host of other instruments. Please check the Music On Main section of the website for all the details.
As always, if you have ideas to share, want to volunteer your talents, or would like to know more about First Church’s music program, feel free to contact me via email (rsmatteson@comcast.net) or phone (413)315-3440.
